There is nothing impossible for those who will try.

Engineer, Scientist, Entrepreneur, Inventor

Former Bay Area Techie (ex-Pinterest) turned biomedical AI researcher and entrepreneur.

I'm a Pre-Doctoral Research Associate at Harvard Medical School, Department of Biomedical Informatics, advised by Professor Marinka Zitnik. I completed my S.B. at MIT, where I was co-advised by Justin Solomon (MIT CSAIL) and Moon Duchin (Tufts Math) to develop metric geometry models and data science algorithms for assessing fairness in political redistricting as part of an informal collective called the Metric Geometry and Gerrymandering Group, now the MGGG Redistricting Lab (mggg.org). Before starting at HMS, I was a software engineer at Pinterest focused on data science, data engineering, and machine learning. I also launched two companies in the blockchain and drugAI spaces and took on senior ML roles at companies like Cruise.

My research at HMS lies at the intersection of single-cell biology, foundation models, and DrugAI. I've led the development of the Therapeutic Commons (tdcommons.ai), focusing on single-cell foundation models and contextual AI.
